C G
This is my time
Am C
This is my tear

I can see clearly now

For playing solitaire
G Am C
Tell me where you want me

All the world gets high
When you take a dare
Let it rise before you
This is my time

Surrender rises high and I

Distiller's got a scream
And now I know just why
When she's movin' air
Can you feel the voltage
This is my time

This is my time
